Bully: The Mini-Games

Share.

Tired of playing with yourself? Grab a friend for some multiplayer action.

By Hilary Goldstein

One of the new additions to Bully is head-to-head offline adversarial multiplayer. There are a total of 10 multiplayer games which can be played in 3, 6, or 9 rounds in a winner-take-all two-person tournament. One person plays as Jimmy, the other gets to play as his arch nemesis Gary. The majority of the mini-games are based off the various classes from the single-player game. Players compete to score the most points in class before time runs out. But there are a few alternatives to playing in a classroom setting.

The loser of a match gets to choose the next game. But the winner can hit the A button to taunt their friend. Nothing like rubbin' it in, right? Check out the 10 mini-games available in Bully on 360 and Wii:

Consumo: It's survival of the fattest! Two sumo wrestlers enter, but only one will eat the most food and become the biggest sumo of all.

Nut Shots: Based off the not-so-classic arcade game within Bully, two flying squirrels enter, but only one will shoot enough nuts to attain the high score. Do you have the fastest nuts?

English Class: It's a battle to create the most words from a scramble of letters. If your opponent makes a word, you can't get points for repeating it.

Geography Class: You're given a map of a continent and a set of flags for various countries. Working off the same map, your and your opponent tries to fill out the map with the correct flags.

Art Class: You and a pal pick up pencils and attempt to draw the most boxes to reveal the piece of art beneath. Whoever can claim the largest portion of the screen wins.

Shooting Gallery: This classic carnival game has you and a pal battling to earn the most points by shooting the enemies that pop up from the scenery.

Math Class: A simple math problem appears with a handful of possible solutions. Whoever answers first gets the point.

Photography Class: You're given a scene full of items. Text flashes telling you what to shoot next. The first to catch the image with a photo scores the point.

Biology Class: Two boys, two scalpels, two dead animals. It's not about who can dissect the fastest, but who is most accurate when cutting pieces out of their animal.

Music Class: Notes come down and you and your opponent must properly time the beating of your drums. Whoever lands the most notes earns the win.
